Suggestions That May Be Valuable
to Congressmen.
The Difficulty of Getting a Chance to
Address the House- Few Men Make
a Reputation the First Session—Two
Who Succeeded in Attracting Atten
tion—Old Memb 3rs Refuse to Listen
to Fledgelings—The'Commit tee Room
the Place to Lay the Foundation of a
Reputation.
Washington, Sept. 27.—Now that con
gressional nominations are being made,
old members being shelved and new and
budding geniuses being chosen, it may be
interesting for their constituents to know
through what course of sprouts they will
have to go before they realize the promi
nent position which has been so freely
predicted for them. Every new npminee
pictures to himseif the halls oT congress
and bow he will electrify his vast audience
upon his first speech, or at least duriug his
first session in congress. If bv chance
be knows enough of political life in
Washington to realize that he must he
content with an unimportant part at first,
then indeed he it ahead of his competi
tors for congressional honors whose ig
norance on such subjects will have to be
overcome by hard experience before he
even begins the race in forensic eloquence.
Every successful new nominee has yet to
learn the force of a remark made by
Judge Culberson of Texas upon bis en
trance into the House. Being an old line
politician himself, governor of his state,
playing a prominent part in national poli
tics, he said after his first speech on the
floor of the House of Representatives;
CULBERSON’S EXPERIENCE.
"I felt just like a scnooi boy, and I find
I have got lots to learn before i can suc
cessfully speak again.”
This is the experience of all new men,
but more espesially when youth is added
to the novitiate. So for this season a
representatives constituency could
never judge him by his first session’s
work, it is much easier for a man to
make his mark in the Senate upon his en
trance into congress than in tne House.
In the upper branch, even anew
member profits by the straight
laced senatorial courtesy which is
practiced there. In the House,
however, where there are upward of 3JO
members fighting lor places, anew mem
ber has little opportunity of even heing
heard, and scarcely none at all for being
prominent in that bqdy. The number of
men who have become conspicuous during
their first session can Le easily counted
ou the fingers of one hand. Bryan of Ne
braska, the boy orator of the Platte, is
the sbining exception of the general rule.
His lace and figure had as much to do
with his success on the occasion of
his first speech as the thought
and language of the speech itself.
He attracted attention by his re
markable resemblance to ex-Speaker Ran
dall. and his appearance on the fioor was
not such as to attract'attention from the
members as well as lrom the galleries.
If he had been sc conspicuous In figure
and form his tariff speech, delivered on
this first occasion in the House, would
possibly never have received the wide
attention that was given to it immedi
ately after its delivery. Bryan never had
a backset, and has continued to grow un
til now lie is the < hief opponent of Sena
tor Alamiersou for senatorial,honors.
A CONSPICUOUS FIGURE.
Another very conspicuous figuret in the
House and one who deserves the confidence
which is imposed in him by the speaker
and his fellow members is young Bailey
of Texas, and he a.iords an illustration of
how unfortunate it is for anew member
to attempt to push himself forward
rather than to wait for time to discover
him. The names of Bailey and Bryan
are now always linked together as the
two most prominent young men in the
House. But during their hrst terms they
were supposed to be the very antithesis
of ea< h other. Equally eloquent with
Bryan, with greater scope of learning,
but without the Kebruskan's
strong personality, his first term in
congress was a dismal failure. He
thought to re' olutioni/e congress, elec
trify Ins hearers, and consequently spoke
for or against every sub ect which came
up for discussion. Consequently the
older members resented his interference,
and proceeded to make a congressional
door mat of him. He had the brains to
perceive his error, however, and stopped
speaking for awhiie, devoting himself
to committee work, and eulti eating the
acquaintance of his fellow members, it
is in the committee after all where the
reputation of a man is made or marred.
It is through the committee that tho
speaker knows the worth of a member
and proceeds to reco ni e him on the
floor. Before the session of a day begins
the speaker already knows whom lie will
recogni e and whom he will not, and he
no sooner discovers that a member is
using the Congressional uecord as an ad
vertising medium than he proceeds to sit
on him, so to speak.
A COMMON EXPERIENCE.
It is the common experience for a young
tnan elected to congress to have a very
high opinion of his own importance He
usually arrives in Washington brimful of
egotism, picturing to himself what a hush
will lallon congress when he shall arise
to deli er his maiden speech and the wild
enthusiasm which will greet his fiery
eloquence.
A;as the reality is very different, and
let newly elected members read tnis care
fully. He will iind himself a mere cipher
an on*r tibu men, who will not rei omi/e
‘ ll ' s . wonh until absolutely forced to do so,
this will *, e a shook to his vauity, and if
he hasn’t good judgment he will grow im
pudent and erratic like Wilson of Wash
ington.
Kvery new man recently nominated is
doubtless dreaming ot a sensa.iob nis ap
pearance will create on his erst entrance
to congress; of the silence which will fol
low when he is sworn in. He will get
more attention when some fellow member
announces him than be is likely to get for
a session afterward. The veterans
will regard him with curios
ll.v for a moment, and, unless he
can secure recognition from the S| ealter—
a doubtful event during his first session—
ho will be remembered us the man who
neat so and so, “mighty good fellow, and
an awfully good fr end of mine.” Should
he. by hook or crook, get the floor thoso
who are in the chamber will listen to his
Preliminary sentences, and unless he
strikes their fancy iu his first r< marks,
with the exception of his own delegation,
he is apt to play to empty benches. The
members of the lower house have no in
tention to snuo anew man, but it is ut
ler ‘.t ini|iossible to listen to all the lect
ures indicted on congress by iucxperi
euced legislators.
the VaLCK OF COMMITTEE ffOKlt.
Anew member, whether an orator or
hot. had better confine himself to commit
tee work, and iu missionary labor among
ms associates. After all, it is in the com
mittee that the fate of u bill
decided, and, in the majority
°f casco, an adverse report ends the
blatter, and seldom do speeches change
[he result in the House unless delivered
■' some of the leaders. Heuce the im
portance of being on good committees,
hot only on account of tho opportunity it
hi-es a member of securing favorable
action on bills relatiug to his own state,
1,1,1 also on account of the hold it gives on
members of other commlttoes by rceipro
eatioti of services.
Anew member who doesn’t
become tainted with a desire
for applause can in one term
become useful not onl/ to his state but to
his party and countr; at large. Once in
fected with the forensic mania he is very
apt to die of congreisioual inanition.
NEW SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.
The Tradesman'* Quarterly Report.
A Decline in Speculative Concerns.
Chattanooga, Tenn.. Sept. 29.—The
Tradesman in i:s quarterly report for the
three months ending Sept. 30, 1894, of the
new industries established In the southern
states, reports 520 industries incorporated
and organi.gd in the south in the period
named, against 454 in the third quarter of
1893, 697 in the third quarter of 1892.
and 759 in the third quarter of
1891. It shows, says the Tradesman,
that the worst period of the depression
occurred in the summer of 1893, and
that there has been a distinct recovery,
which is daily becoming more marked.
In the aggregate of new industries in the
quarter just ended, Texas leads with 04,
Georgia is second with 55, North Carolina
third with 47, \ irgiuia 45, Alabama and
Florida each 44, Tennessee 42, Arkansas
38. Louisiana 36, Kentucky and West
Virginia each 32, Mississippi 24, South
Carolina 17.
The most noticeable feature of the com
pilation. says the Tradesman, is the fall
ing off iu companies of a speculative
nature and the steady Increase in indus
tries of a more useful character. In the
third quarter of 1891 there were 60 land
companies organized, against only 13 in
the past quarter.
During the three months the phosphate
industry in the south was increased by 12
companies—7 in Florida, 2 in Tennessee,
2in Georgia and 1 in Virginia. Twenty
nine mining companies were organized.
One hundred and twenty-nine saw and
planing mills, box factories and other
woodworking plants were organized in
three months, Alabama leading with 19,
Arkansas 16, Florida 15, Tennessee 13,
Mississippi 10. Forty-three Lour and
grist mills were established. North Caro
lina leading with 10, Kentucky and Texas
6, each, Tennessee and Alabama 4, each,
and the balance about equally distrib
uted.
The Tradesman calls especial attention
to the substantial progress in the cotton
mill industry in the south in the past
quarter, and reports thirty-nine new es
tablishments against twenty-two in the
corresponding period of 1893. Georgia
heads the list with 9, North Carolina has
7, South Carolina 5, Alabama and Texas
4, each, Tennessee 8. Florida and Ig>uis
iana 2, each, Arkansas, Kentucky and
Virginia 1, each.
There were 28 new electric light plants
established, against 17 for same period of
1893, and were equally distributed over
the south; 33 water works companies
were formed, agaiust 27 in the same
period last year; 24 foundries and machine
shops were established in the three
months; 13 cotton oil mills, 10 canning
factories, six barrel lactories, 8 brick and
tile works, and two blast furnace com
panies were formed, notwithstanding the
dullness in iron, besides 74 miscellaneous
industries.
The Tradesman adds that reports from
all sections of the south point to a sub
stantial revival in manfacturiug indus
tries, enlargement of old plants and a very
marked increase in orders.
THE RECORD’S WEEKLY SUMMARY.
Baltimore, Sept. 27.—The Manfactur
ers’ Hecord, in its weekly review of the
industrial and railroad interests of the
south, says:
"Among the operations of northern
capitalists in the south reported during
the week are the purchase of an im
portant Florida railroad and 100.000 acres
of adjacent land by New York people.
Southern men have purchased large tracts
of land in Tennessee aud West \ irginia
for.mining purposes. New York lumber
men have organized a #600,000 company
and purchased 75.000 acres of land in
Western North Carolina. New railroads
include twenty miles in North Carolina,
twenty-five miles in Kentucky and
forty-five miles in Virginia. The
increased interest in immigration
is shown by the formation of
several immigration companies. A New
England cotton mill company has decided
to ouild a#600,000 mill in Georgia; another
company is now looking for a site for a
mill of about the same cost. Several
western bankers arc looking for good lo
cations for four or five banks in the
south.
Among the industrial enterprises re
ported for the week are #.0u,000 iron

IN THE WORLD OF IRON.
Cleveland, 0., Sept. 37.—The iron Trade
Review to-day says: With the rail
roads still holding tne key to the imme
diate future of tue iron trade, there is uo
reason to expect any abrupt variation in
market history, week after week. Ail
that can be said as to the buying by rail
roads is that the total is increasing, and
that car shops and rail mil.s are feeling
the hrst iuuicaiions of an iuipiovement
that even mention might exaggerate.
With only 450,00 tons of rail delivered to
railroads in the first eight months of this
year, when mere renewal demands in that
time would ordinarily amount to more
than 050,000 tons, it can be seen that there
is much to be desired.
The past week has brought only a
moderate volume of business for most
classes of material. l J ig iron buyers are
asking concessions ori the few large
lots that are bought, and the feeling is
not as firm on auy grade. Southern and
eus.eru producers who wereaskiugan ad
vance six weeks ago and who later held
close to tjuotations, have shaded prices in
tho past week from lu to ,5 cents. A sale
of 1,000 tons of southern gray forge at
9,35 in Chicago indiiates that the field
there is not being abandoned, but for the
most part northern furnace men are still
uiakiug prices that take the business.
The drop in Bessemer pig is somewhat
more pronounced, but the amount in
volved In Hittsburg transactions is com
paratively small, buyers preterring to fol
low the market.
While there are no indications that cur
rent consumption is less than that of two
or three weeks ago, the conviction of con
sumers that they will net lower prices
leads to postponements. Spot Bessemer
has sold at fi1.35 at Pittsburg and a sale
is report, and. deliveries to Dec. I. at Ti 1.15.
Steel billets have sold at *l7 for imme
diate shipment, and continue at *lt)..k) for
forward delivery, sellers arguing that a
firm market is to be expected for tho
next two months. Pittsburg structural
nulls have managed to take a large
amount of work eas: and west in the past
few weeks. ■ Bridge work, involv
ing considerable tonnage, is com
ing up in Chicago as well
as in the cast, and for the latter there is
sharp eompetii.pn between eastern and
Pittsburg mijia. Aihip yrds on the
lieiawaro are *jt|#ete<l trt place goodly
orders wilblu another week. Eastern

buyers of billets report a lessening
amount of work in sight and are less
willing to pay prices asked at Pittsburg.
SPEED OF THE STEEDS.
Threatening Weather, Small Attend
ance and Poor Card at Jerome Park.
Race Traca, Jerome Park. N. Y.. Sept.
27.—Less than I.UUO persons witnessed the
races here to-day. The weather was
threatening, but a rather poor
card was probably responsible
for the slim attendance. Favor
ites captured but three of the seven
events. The third race, the Oak wood
stakes, had only two starters, but it
proved the best race of the day. Clifford
and Banquet were the starters, the former
heing a hot favorite. Tho pair got away
to a perfect start, neither having any ad
vantago. Doggett at once took Banquet
in lrout a length and a half to the good.
Gridin did not move on Clinord until the
turn into the stretch was made. Then he
cut loose. A fu long from home he got
Clifford's nose in front, but Banquet hung
on gamely. From there the pair raced
heads apart. Clifford finally won clev
erly by a neck. This was very good time
for this track. The summaries were as
follows:
First Hace—Six furlongs Applause. 10r.
Doggett, 3 to 5, won, with Havoc second and
Louise uliy third, lime 1.17.
Second Pace—One mile and a sixteenth.
Discount, 110, Doggett 7 to 5. won, with
Beldemere second and Poetry third. Time

STILL KINO OP THE PACERS.
Davenport, la„ Sept. 27.—Robert J. Is
still king of pacers. Before 10,900 peoplo
at the Davenport mile track to-day, he
easily defeated Joe Patchen two straight
heats, and then, after Joe had withdrawn
by agreement, paced a mile with a run
ning mate in 2:02>, the fastest third
heat ever paced. In the first heat he
finished in a jog, with a lead of six
lengths, in 2:os>i. The second was won
by four lengths in 2:06;?.,. The last quar
ter of the third heat was in :29&.
LITTLE ALIX AT COLUMBUS.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 27.—About 10,000
people witnessed the races at the Colum
bus Driving Park to-day. The weather
was warm and clear, but not warm
enough to bring out the mettle of the
horses. The track was fast but too
hard. Aiix went to beat her record of
2:03%, but the start was a little slow and
she landed under the wire in 2:04 4.
The time by quarters was; 0:31, I:o2fa,
1:3414, 2:0414. Her driver, McDowell,
made a great effort to lower her record,
and the crowd showed its appreciation
by hearty appiause. Flying Jib was sent
against his record of 2:04 and landed un
der the wire in 2:06%.
Directly was also sent against his
record at 2:07% and finished in 2:09%.
The team race between A ote and Answer,
owned by Monroe Salisbury, and Roseleaf
and Sallie Simmons, owned by Georje
Starr, was close and exciting. Koseleaf
and Sallie Simmons won by about half a
length. The Salisbury team led all the
way round to the stretch when one of the
horses broke and the star team shot
ahead holding the lead to the wire. Tho
time was 2:15%, the world's record by s
trotting team in a race. The fastest mile
previously made by a team in a race ws
2:16%.
FOR THE JOCKEY CLUB STAKES.
London, Sept. 27.—At Newmarket to
day the principal event was the race for
the Jockey club stakes of 10,000 jov
ereigns, for 3 and 4-year-olds; penaties
and allowances.
The race was won by McCalmonfs 4-
year-old bay colt. Isinglass, bv Isonjmty,
out of Deadlock, with Blanc's 8-yeir-old
roan colt, Coivenant, by the Bard,put of
Gladia in second place, and Lorci Dur
ham’s 3-year-old bay colt. Son ( ’Mine,
by Isouomiy, out of Alibch, third.
A Populist Hunts His Paity.
Davisboro, Ga., Sepc. 27.—Poihlistism
received a tremendous setback here to
day. A populist emissary frdn Bun
combe district reached here this morning
after a ..ourney of twenty mile# 1- roni
the outset he was wild in his cllims and
in his enthusiasm, seem.ng to want to
force his doctrines upon unbdievers in
his faith. At one time during the day a
serious difLculty was averted b< tween
him and a prominent democrat.
His address was announced for to
niga,, butujsome bowthe fjtrong cold
wind and rain or a strong desfe for some
thing to brace him up to! his speech
caused him to take from thestoroof J. J.
Poston, while the latter'! back was
turned, a lot of whisky, (bur bottles
i epsin Bitters, some cigars, snuff and ap- !
pies. He then quickly left sown, but Mr. j
i oston swore out a warrant for his ar- j
rest and sent officers on his traiks, in the
hope of bringing him back, not to make a
spee, b, but to try him for larceny from
tho house.

HILL MEt ARE JUBILANT.
They Think tl> Senator a Dead Sure
Winnr in New York
The admlrertff Senator David B Hill
of New York ijsavannah are comment
ing upon his ndtination for governor of
. New York wit expressions of decided
approval. Hillthey say, is the man to
i go in and win.
“The dnmoclts of New York did the
right thing won they nominated Hill.”
said Mr. P. O'Connor. “They knew
they had to hale a strong man and they
picked their smugest matt to make the
j fight. Hill is leonly ntan in New York
j who can pull is party out of the hole
' just now. Mrk in.v words, if Hill is
elected govern r of New York this year
: ho will be the oininee of the deuiucrats
; for the prosidi cy in 1396.”
Mr. O’Conm .It will be remembered,
was preskten of Savannah’s Hill club
in 1892.
"Hill has at uphill fight before him,”
said Mr. \ illiam Kehoe. "Gorman,
Brice and Sm h have put the Democratic
party iu such bad light with the busi
ness men, and he manufacturing element,
which is very |trong in New York, is feel
ing so hitter gainst the democrats be

is by no meat a cheering one for the

will win, but: have my doubts,"
“Hill is thf best man that the demo
crats could hire named to make the raco,
• rnd l hope hqsvill bo elected,” said Prof.
M. A. O’Brtef
“Things loi rather rocky in New York
state, but I Blink Hill will win," said
Mr. J. F. Crdan.
Col. JohnjF. Gaynor, whose uncle,
Judge Gayuoj, oame very near being nom
inated, is ver enthusiastic over the nom
ination, and ieclares that Hill is a sure
winner. j"
THE SKDER AND THE FLY.
The Living Motures the Most Attrac
tive feature of the Show.
“The Spit r and tho Fly” showed at
the Savanni t theater last night to a fair
house. Tht performance was a spectacu
lar product n of the usual order and was
amusing. ; s best feature was the living
pictures, w h which it was interspersed,
and which fere well put on. The show
contained natty amusing scenes, and car
ried a largiand varied cast of characters.
4-11-44 fill be tho attraction to
night. Till comedy will be seen for the
first time ft Savannah. If what is said
of it is trui it is beyond question one of
the brightpt pieces that will be here this
season, me Macon Telegraph says of
It: “It iJt suye bo?t winner. It is ex
tremely frnnyana entirely treA from even
the suggestion of vulgarity. It is a bran
new far/e comedy, the reallzAtlon of
persevepnee and an active ambition
to canpl all anterior ideas, and pre
sent a/grand complex of pure, bright
fun a ill posithe novelties, recogni. ing
no ripls and making intrinsic merit
tne trfeat controlling point. The vocal
department is one of rare excellence;
in i a ft, the attraction tn every detail
willAear the most critical inspection.”
“The Danger Signal” is down for two
performances to-morrow matinee and
it itpi t The scenes of the play are laid at
Laramie i end, a mountain station out
west, the characters being mostly rail
road people, and the incidents are gath
ered from their every-day life. It is a
realistic play. Its most prominent effects
include a locomotive, built of Iron and
steel, and propelled by steam; a cannon
ball train, locomotive, tender, three
coaches, crossing the stage at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, and a cyclone rotary
snow plow, used in a thrilling snow bio k
ade. The play tells a story of love and
duty, as the pen of Mr. Henry C. DeMille
depicts it.

weather synopsis.
The tropical storm, at 8 o'clock to
night, was central near Wilmington, N.
('■.. with a decided decrease In intensity.
It appears to have expended considerable
of its energy in producing heavy rains in
the Carolinas. The following heavy
rainfalls are reported: Florence, S. C.,
4in lies: Goldsboro, N. C., 2.10 Inches;
Lumberton, N. C., f>. lOinches; New Berne,
N. C.. I.< o inches; Harueeville, S. C., a
inches; Kingstree, S. C„ 8.80 inches;
Nt. Georges, S. C., Ji.iO inches; St. .Mat
thews, S. G.. 1.70 inches; Allendale, S.
C., 3.70 inches: Batesburg, S. C., 2.00
inches; Ilia ksville, S. C., 8.10 inches
and Waynes oro, Ga„ 2 Inches; Mlllen,
Ga., 2.20 inches.
The total rainfall at Charleston for the
thirty six hours ending at 8 o’clock to
nic ht was 7.34 inches; the total rainfall
at Savannah for the same period was 8.73
inches.
During the twenty-four hours ending
atfi o’clock p. m. to-day fair weather pre
vailed throughout the cotton belt, ex
cept in the Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston,
Savannah and Wilmington districts.
At 8 o'clock p. m. cloudiness prevailed
in the extreme northwest, along the im
mediate Middle Atlantic coast, and
throughout the South Atlantic states
Elsewhere the weather was generally
clear. An area of comparatively nigh
pressure persistently hangs over the New
England states. A secondary ’•high'’
covers the I.owcr Mississippi valley,
Louisiana and Eastern Texas. An area
of low barometor, or storm, of consider
able intens.ty, centers apparently in the
middle slope of the Kooky mouu ains.
Tho tropical storm will probably course
northeastward from North Carolina

WOMEN IN CHICAGO POLITICS.
Becoming Initiated Into All the
Tricks of the Ward Heeler.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Chicago. Sept. '24.—At the coining elec
tion the women of this state can vote for
a woman trustee of the State University.
The republicans have namod Mrs. Lucy
F lower, and the democrats Mrs. Julia
Holmes Smith. The i.glit is becoming
popular Mrs Marion Foster Washbui uo
made this startling confession at a repub
lican meeting:
“i was told to begin by trying to in
terest every woman i met. I began by
trying to rouse my nurse and cook, anil
found they were both democrats. It was
only by threatening to discharge them
that 1 induced them to vote the repub
lican ticket."
"You made this statement!" she was
asked to-day.
‘•oh. yes.” she frankly admitted.
"Do you know what the law says about
threatening uud intimidating voters and
the penalties therefor!”
"Well. I'U take my time in the
nursery," was tho reply.
Humors have been nlloat that Mrs.
Altgeld would vole the republican ticket.
In a letter reud before the democratic
women, the governors wife says: "1
hasten to say that the statement is with
out any foundation and has amu/ed me.
1 assure you. 1 shall vole the straight
democratic ticket as far as 1 cun."
